The E:nper0r's Birthday.

Tuesday was the birthday Of the
Emperor William of Germany. 1t
is being celebrated with degree OF
honest and hearty enthusiasm which
few imperial rersorages have ever
beer able 10 aroase in their SUBJ
jects. TIE brave old soldier has
been an important factor in the po-
litical changes Of the Continent dur
ing the last two generations. 4
firm believer in the divine right OF
kings, and entertaining a strong dis,
trust of republican principles, he
has nevertheless leided his mighty
power in the interests of his chill
dren,n as lie deli hts to call the
people, and they have repaid him
by a confidence which has increas-
ed with the pass sge cl time. The
Germans may welt pray that this
niGet;eth birthday may not be his
last, for all the world knows that
while lie lives a European war will
be aver.ed if it can be done by hon
orab'e concessions.
Monday the Emperor received
special messengers bearing congrat-
ulations fscm all parts cf the globe.
Not only did the little group of
powers. great and small, by which
he is surrounded, wish him many
happy returns, bat far off China
and the sturdy Boer Republic of
of South Africa. The streets of
Berlin asar tho palace were filed
with cr ush of people of all ranks
= noblemen with thc!r..splendid equi
pages. princes with their spectac-
ular retinues, soldiers in gay uni
forms and peasants in picturesque c
attire. The students, thousands of
them, made the night gay with
their colored lights, their torches
and silken banners, and the whole
CITY resounded with the Hoch
Hoch |! Hoch ! which comes with
such boundiess resonance from leu.
tonic threats.

Senator Welsh.

The Cincinnati Enquirer in an
article in last Mondays Issue
criiicising the make up Of the
late Legislature, pays this very
handsome and deserved compl-
ment to our senator. Mr.. Welsh !:
Calvin Welsh is probably, in
physical and mental structure.
the best. specimen of manhood in
the Senate. As . statute lawyer
he stands at the head Of the list
Of Senate lawyers. Had it not
been for his watchfuiness this
body of Solons would have car
ried and grated on the law OF
Ohio a good many alleged words.
Senator Welsh in this regard has
rendered a good service TO The
.'King's" English He makes no
noise, but is always on his seat
watching the actions AMI doings
Of others. The day will be very
frigid before bill passes this
body without the Athens Sena-
tor knowing all about It. This is
his second term. and he will
rot return 10 Legislative work
until he is sent to Congress.

TAe SarlmitsCo. Inflrmary Outrages.
Some months ago the Akron
Democrat made a protest against
the barherous and inhuman treat
ment of The poor at the Infrm-
ary. At first the paper was de-
nounced for its interference, and
charged with publishing lies. :
The paper backed its charges
with facts. and proved all ii
ehsrged. An investigation was
ordered.
The investigation did no white
washing, but made a thorough
investigation. The most inhu,
maE treatment of the paupers
was proved on Tie Superinten-
dent, and strong suspicion OF Of
fetal corruption attached TO the
Directors.
The Superintendent and Di-
rec:ors were discharged, narrow
~ escaping being sent 10 the
penitentiary. The brutality prac'
ticed on the inmates is too hor-
rlble to print
Up to this time the Superin-
tendent and Directors have moi
started a spite paper to breai
down the Democrat which expos
ed and denounced them.

j. r. Buchtel Stricken with
Paralysis.

BucHTEL, O., March 21.-The
venerable j. X. Buchtel, of Ak
ron. O., widely known as the
great coal and iron king of the
Hooking valley, was stricken
with paralysis at his boarding
house at this place Saturday
morning, his eyesight and lett
arm being mostly affected. Mr..
Buchtel has not been feeling we'll
for some time and Friday was
taken with a severe headache
Saturday morning he was taken
very sick, his eyesight began
failing him and almost entirely
losing the use of his left arm. He
was given all :he attention pos
sib!e and expressed himself as
somewhat relieved yesterday
morning, and took a walk over
to his furnace, thinking the ex-
ercise and fresh air. would bene-
ft him. Toward evening, how.
ever, he became worse and en-
tireIy lost the use of his left arm
his eyesight again failing him.
Mr. Buchtel was reluctant to
leave here at present, but his
friends insisted upon his going
to his home at Akron for medi-
cal treatment. He left here this
morning, accompanied by his
private secretary, Mr.. r. @. Nc.
Manigal, for Akron.
Mr.. Buchtel is &c years OF age,
and is we'll preserved physically
for man Of that age. His af-
Fiction affects him very much,
and to one of his friends he re-
marked That he understood the
nature of his affection and bis
work in the valley was finished. -
Mr. Buchtel is one Of .the best
known among the numerous
capitalists who have been iden-
titled with the mining and iron
interest in the Hooking valley
for the last ten years, and we are
sorry to hear of the sickness his
friends fear will result, if not in
his death, at least in a stoppage
of active service in the Valley.
The latest advices are not very
encouraging for his recovery.

The Interstate Commerce
AcS.

The recent conferences of rail-
road officials on the Inter State
Commerce Act have led TO a very
general belief that freights for
long distances will be higher af
ter April 9Th, when the new law
will take effect. Accordingly
Western merchants have been
free buyers of goods at the East
with the view OF reaping the ad-
vantage Of present rates of tran
sporlation. For the same reason
there has been a rush ofproducts
from the West TO The sea-board,
the movement reaching such
proportions that, according to
we'll authenticated reports, the
trunk lines, in their anxiety TO
secure the business, have cut un-
der the regular tariff.
That the new law will remedy
many existing abuses there is no
reason TO doubt !; but it Is also
plainly TO be seen that strong
check upon The railroads Will be
needed ifthe object of the fram-
ers of The bill-namely, TO pre-
vent unjust discrimination-is 10
be realized. To those who have
sought TO make the railroads sub
servent to The interests of the
public, it is hardly encouraging
to know that merchants unite so
generally in The belief that high
er fre,ghts will prevail after the
Inter State Law goes into oper-
alton. All This shows that the
appointment on the Commission
of men of-integrity and ability,
possessed OF strong will, to cope
with the railroads and to master
the intricate questions that are
certain to arise from time TO
time in regard 10 the interpreta-
ton of the act. II is only by the
appointment Of such men that
the public will be able 10 reap
the benefits intended by their
representatives in Congress who
voted so overwhelmingly il fa-
yor Of the measure.

A Spruce-Gu,n Merchant.

Ten miles from Bennington, VT, lives
Lou Bishop who is something OF a celeb
rity in that neighborhood- He is a
spruce-gum merchant and talked as fol-
lows of his business to . correspondent
of the Boston Globe:
II gathered 600 pounds of spruce-gum
last season. I've been in tine business
thirty years and have sold good many
tons Of gum in that time. I've pretty
near sold out my supply this season al
ready, and haven't morn 1000 barrels
lcft.
.'Oh, the barrels amt big ones" he
explained, when some surprise was ex-
pressed that he should have LOCO bar
rels left out of total stock of only 600
pounds. The barrels run about six to
the pound. and sell 'em ct six for a
dollar. Tic s.orekeepers sell 'em for SIS
cents apiece. Then there's another size
that rctails at % cents, but most of 'em
are six for a dollar"
Some sample barrels were shown, and
they proved TO be small in sizo and
made upon n lathe, each out OF a single
piece of wood.
The spruce-gum farmer pointed with
pride to the vehicle which bears him
upon his business journeys over the
country, for he is his own travelling
salesman. 1t is a two-wheeled affair
which years ago saw its best days A
box-seat mounted upon heavy springs
was amply filled when its owner was on
the road, and the bulk of his travelling
stock in trade was contained in large
old-fashioned valise carried in suspen-
sion below the axle Of the vehicle.
When on extended journeys Mr.. Bish-
ops son forwards reenforcements OF
barreled gum to his father by rail.
Il sell gum all through this country
and down in Massachusetts," said the
gum-picker. 'My hest customers are
the dealers in the factory towns. Fac
tory girls are mighty fond of gum, judg-
ing from the demand in these places.
1t kinder keeps their jaws busy when
they are to work, and can't talk among
'enlselyes."
There's only one kind o spruce gum.
though they advertise medicine made
from red spruce gum, just rs If there
we,e blue gum or any other color.
There's no use talkin', spruce gum Is
good for the stomach, an advise every
body to chew it. 1t don't need any pre-.
pairing, only just scraping the bits OF
bark of, an then its ready to be sold
and chcwed. Spruce trees is get;in'
scarcer'n they used to be, an you have
to travel a good ways further n you
used to get much gum. foot it on
snow-shoes-some that made myself.
In winter l have some help; men an
BOYS who hain't nothin' to do, an pay
'em for what they pick"
